tion concerning this matter was hazy and that he had
appe ore the Federal Gr 1 stigat-
connecti with , andeinshad se them of ta: informat on given o e n erviewing
Agents. KORSHAK stated that he had given the Grand Jury a

Stagehands Union
. In 1960 information was received by the Chicago Office
concerning the picketing of the woods Theater in Chicago by the
StagehandUnion. The information received from the Chicago
Office was that a telephone call had been made by KORSHAK to "
the attorney representing the Stagehands Union, indicating that
the picket line around this theater should be called off and
had used curse words ta describe the members of the Stagehands
Union. The attorney for the Stagehands Union expressed the
opinion that there was Justification for the picket line and
in turn received a second call from an individual suggesting
that the picket line be removed and indicated that this call was
made since SIDNEY had called him. The law firm representing
the theater in this particular case was not represented by
KORSHQK's law firm. As an outgrowth of this matter, the National
Labor Relations'Board was successful in obtaining an injunction
against the Stagehands Union,and the informant of the Chicago
Office indicated that up until this time they had been quite
unsuccessful in obtaining such an injunction. .

pension fund loan from the Teamsters Union. Listed among the
associates of PRITZKER was one SIDNEY KORSHAK, a Chicago attorney.
In 1962, an informant of theChicago Office advisedthat SIDNEY KORSHAK, a clgse associate of MURRAY HUMPHREYS, had
become very wary of dinin~ at St. Huberts Old English Grille
at 181 East Lake Shore Drfive, Chicago, due to the fact that
KORSHAK was aware that some of the top members of organized
crime in Chicago had recently been frequenting the restaurant.
The informant advised that KORSHAK took pains not to be in the
restaurant at the same time as any of these individuals due
to the fact that he did not want to be seen by law enfcrsement
officers or officials in their company. This informant describedKQRSHAK as "one of the biggest guys in the country today who has
a pipeline right to the Government in Washington. By this the
informant meant to indicate that KORSHAK was friendly with highly-
placed Federal officials.
In a previous interview with KORSHAK by Agents of the
Chicago Office, KORRHAL had spoxen of his close relationship
with former Vice President ALVIN BARKLEY, Secretary of Labor
ARTHUR GOLDBERG and Illinois Democratic Committeeman JACOB
ARVEY. .
In 1959, during the course of an interview with Agents

Miscellaneous .
In July, 5957, SIDNEY KORSHAK was mentioned in the
"Readers Digest" article by LESTER VELIE entitled, "How
Influence--Peddlers Short Change the Union Wage Earner."
VELIE was featuring the Teamsters Union then-president DAVE
BECK's "sweetheart deals" with businessmen, and how such 'deals were arranged by middlemen such as NATHAN W. SHEFFERMAN. '
He called SHEFFERMAN one of a new breed of shadowing operators
,g; _ who use their inf-uence among union men to bring employers and
wsé union men together to male a deal," and he called it a union
*#¥" problem which is "most loaded with woe for the worker in that*3? » the union's function is perverted.
_ 5;; --~~»._ we""# An example of such questionable relations was named
- by VEpIE as involving the Englander Company, Incorporated,
matress manufacturers in Indiana, and in connection with this
N the name of SIDNEY KORSHAK was introduced into VELIE's story.
He wrote "CAPONE gangster CHARLEY CHERRY NOSE GIOE once

introduced KORSHAK to WILLIE BIOFF, pander and labor racketeer,this way: 'I want you to pay attention to KORSHAK. when hetells you something, he knows what he is talking about. Any
message he may deliver to you is a message from us.'" VELIEshowed that BIOFF so testified in the million-dollar movie
shakedown trial of 1943, "which sent seven CNPONE mobsters toJail." One who went to Jail is the afore-mentioned JOHNROSELLI! . ., .
Continuing, VELIE wrote that KORSHAK had gone on tohave powerful friends in Illinois and west Coast politics, inthe underworld and in racketeer-tainted unions. He added heis close to JIMY HOFFA£ the Mid~west Teamster boss now under92
inictment on charges q bribing a Senate investigator."
l
VELIE went on that although KORSHAK is a lawyer whorarely puts his name in;a legal document and has seldom 92
appeared in court on labor matters, "SHEFEERMAN finds his
services valuable. das SHEFFERMAN's own records show, thetwo confer frequently...It is not surprising,then, tht KORSHAKplayed a role in the events that led to a substandard contractfor the employees in the Indiana plant of The Englander company.
The rest of the VELIE article is devoted to additional r
illustrations showing the relationship then extant between
HOFFA and KORSHAK, and between other Teamster leaders withSHEFFERMAN.
-....92
. VELIE's story about the introduction of WILLIE BIOFF
and KORSHAK is sup,1emented in other news media to show thatthe meeting took place in 1940 at the Bismark Hotel in Chicagoa and was attended not only by "CHERRY NOSE" GIOE, but by other
CAPONE mobsters such as FRANK NITTI, PAUL RICCA and LOUIS
CAMPAGNA. -
Testifying before the Kefauver Comittee in 1950,-CHARLES "CHERRY NOSE" GIOE himself admitted frequent meetings
with Attorney SIDNEY KORSHAK, his neighbor, at the Seneca Hotel._/
